Am new to the list and looking for Elizabeth CLARKE, on childrens birth
certificate was listed as being born in different places, one being Plymouth and
the other Jersey. She married? John FERGUSON in 1859/69 in Monkland in Scotland
but I have been unable to find any record there. Could it be possible they
married in Monkleigh which I think is in Devon. Would be grateful for any
comments.

I am wondering if anyone can look in the Langtree area of the 1841 Devon census for a Perkin or Perkins family. There names would be John and Jane Perkin. They would be quite elderly both about 80 or older
Thank You
Kevin

Hello again,
I would appreciate a lookup in the 1871 for the family of:
William DAWS. I have him on the 1851 living at 34 Pembroke St, Stoke
Damerel aged 33, and his wife is Jane, aged 27.
This Puts the couple at 53, and 47 respectively in the 1871. They were
both born in Stoke Dam.
thank you
Cheers

WANTED! - Any information relating to the following:
1. Robert WILLCOCKS m. Hannah HEARLE 6 Feb 1762 Stoke Damerel Devon.
Where was Robert from?
Was Robert OTP? Hannah was, chr. 30 May 1733 Stoke Damerel, d/o Samuel
& Jane. Who was Jane?
1.1 Richard WILLCOCKS chr. 8 Jan 1763 Stoke Damerel, Devon. I
haven't found a marriage for him. If married, to whom and when? If
died, where and when buried?
1.2 Ann Bishop WILLCOCKS chr. 5 Apr 1764 Stoke Damerel, Devon. Was
she the Ann WILLCOCKS who married William BRIGHT on her 22nd birthday 5
Apr 1786 Stoke Damerel, Devon? Does anyone have a BISHOP connection
that might include Ann or one of her parents or grandparents (e.g. Jane)?
1.2.1 William BRIGHT chr. 6 Jan 1790 Stoke Damerel, Devon s/o William
and Ann
1.2.2 Joseph BRIGHT b. 3 Feb 1791 chr. 6 Jul 1796 Stoke Damerel Devon
s/o William and Ann
Questions: Any marriages known for these? Were there any other children
(haven't found any!) Did Ann or William die soon after the second
child? Why the 5+ years wait between birth and christening for Joseph?
1.3 Robert WILLCOCKS chr. 24 Jul 1765 Stoke Damerel, (my 3rd grt gf)
m. Mary Ann CONN (chr. 27 Nov 1776 Stoke Damerel) on 28 Dec 1797
St. Mary's, Portsea, Hampshire
I have descendants of this family fairly well documented. Questions:
Did any others of above/below move to Portsea?
1.4 Hannah Hearle WILLCOCKS, chr. 6 Oct 1767 Stoke Damerel, Devon. I
haven't found a marriage. Did she marry, if so who, where, and when?
When did she die? Did she move to Portsea?
(Her middle name was her mother's maiden name.)
1.5 Jane WILLCOCKS chr. 18 Dec 1769 Stoke Damerel, Devon. My brother
found a Jane WILLCOCKS in St. Mary's, Portsea burials on 14 Nov 1809,
when she would have been 40 (but he did not note her age at death, if it
was given.) Or, did she marry Thomas COURTIS on 10 Jan 1804 (age 34) at
Stoke Damerel? Did they have children? When did she die, as Jane COURTIS?
In my CONN line, I am still trying, without success, to find a marriage
of John CONN to Ann Frances COOPER chr. 19 Jul 1747 Stoke Damerel, which
I believe to have been in late 1763. Their first child John CONN was
chr. 5 Aug 1764 at Stoke Damerel. The COOPER surname is suggested by a
later son's middle name (Charles Cooper CONN). Someone on this list
replied several months ago to say she was searching the registers in the
time frame of interest to me, but has not come back to me with any
possible results. IGI doesn't have answers to these questions. The
state of this family has barely changed in several years of searching
for more information.
Still searching after all these years!
Any help greatly appreciated

Is SKS able to look up John SAUNDERS in the 1861 census of Chawleigh?
He was born in Crediton in 1812 and I expect him to be living in the
Village with his wife Mary (b. 1806) and children Fanny (1842),
Harriett (1846) and John (1849), all born in Chawleigh. TIA.

Hello Listers,
I am seeking information on George SAVAGE born 1846 London and died pre
1901, and two places in Plymouth.
He was a musician and a playwright and apparently had his own theatre
c1880-1900. Please does anyone have any information where this may have been
and if it still exists?
He also had at the same time an antique shop near the Barbican. Please can
anyone help with an address for this?
He suffered from asthma and spent the summer in Plymouth and the winter in
the Channel Islands because of his health.
Any assistance will be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Ian Wilkins

Many thanks to Jack Earnshaw and Elizabeth Howard for solving the puzzle as to where James Braddick and his family were in 1871. This is definitely the correct family. His wife was Rebecca Pook.

Is it possible for some one to look up the 1861 census. Sorry I don't have
full address. It is for the family Cole. Father Aaron, Mother Dinah, son
John and maybe son Aaron. Dinah & Aaron were married in 1857, she came from
Stockley (Stockleigh) near Exeter, and the children were born in Exeter.
Many thanks Moya Warren (Ausatralia)

Dear List,
My Father and Great Grandfather both had 'Henham' as a middle name.
Quite unusual, I wonder if it might have been a surname carried on at some
point as a middle name to keep it 'alive'?
Is anyone out there researching the surname HENHAM? Is it a name local to
Devon? Or does anyone have any ideas?
Best wishes,
Brian Conroy

Apologies for this slightly off topic post. Please reply
directly to me rather than the list.
I spent the summer of 1960 in Devon (waitressing at a holiday
camp) but haven't been back since! I have finally managed to
wangle a week this September (20th) and would be grateful if
anyone could recommend suitable b&b accommodation in Exeter (or
Plymouth).
I would say it should be near the DRO but - waddyaknow - after
all this time they are going to be closed - precisely when I
have finally managed to get a chance to visit! But I expect
Tree House will be open and, I hope, the West Country Studies
Library. I may also get to Plymouth I suppose.

This is a very friendly list dedicated to helping people in their
genealogical research in the county of Devon.
The list is jointly sponsored by GENUKI/Devon
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/DEV
and the Devon Family History Society http://www.devonfhs.org.uk/
We recommend that you READ the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) file
(with answers!) at
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/DEV/DevonFAQ
BEFORE posting messages to Devon-L.
We strongly recommend that you visit The Devon Family History Society
web site at
http://www.devonfhs.org.uk
Here you will find details of membership and information regarding the
various indexes that the Society publishes.
The Society operates a low cost look up service, available to both
members and non-members alike, from its computer databases. A Surnames
list shows which Devon names are held in those databases.
All Devon marriages from 1754 to 1812 and 1813 to 1837 are available,
Publications are available, both printed and on CD.
The Devon Family History Society was founded in 1976 and is one of the
largest in the country with over 3,500 members. The Society has its
own centre in Exeter, The Tree House, which is open three days a
week, and contains the following:
o Books: a collection of books on local and family history
research, trees, wills, and parish documents, also family
histories.
o Documents: including trees, wills and parish documents
o Microfiche: including Devon Censuses and the General Register
Office index to births, deaths and marriages 1837-2002 for the
whole of England and Wales.
If you are already a member of Devon Family History Society can we ask
you to please show so when sending and answering messages through this
list.
The Devon GENUKI Web Site is one of the first places to look on the
Internet for information regarding Devon genealogy. We strongly
recommend that you explore this site, which can be found at
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/DEV
This contains information, in some cases quite extensive, about each
and every Devon parish, as well as related to the county as a whole.
There is an online Devon Gazetteer at
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/DEV/#Gazetteers
This is a 12,000-item listing of Devon villages, parishes, hamlets,
churches, chapels, etc., with links in each case to the page in
GENUKI/Devon where more information is to be found about the Devon
town or parish in which the place is situated.
The Devon section operates one of the, as yet, few in number county
OPC systems. The concept of an Online Parish Clerk (OPC), involves
identifying volunteers, one or more per parish, who will act as a
focus for gathering together transcriptions and name indexes related
to that parish (which are not already readily available elsewhere).
The notion of Online Parish Clerks should in no way be confused with
that of the official (i.e. Parish Council-appointed) Parish Clerks.
All OPCs are unpaid volunteers who are willing to assist others in
their genealogical research. To find out which parishes have been
adopted go to
